FORMULA
Empirical: a(n) = 5*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3) - 9*a(n-4) - 13*a(n-6) + 8*a(n-7) + 4*a(n-8) + 7*a(n-9) + 2*a(n-10).
Empirical g.f.: x*(3 + 5*x^2 - 23*x^3 + 10*x^4 - 32*x^5 + 17*x^6 + 13*x^7 + 9*x^8 + 10*x^9) / (1 - 5*x + 3*x^2 - 4*x^3 + 9*x^4 + 13*x^6 - 8*x^7 - 4*x^8 - 7*x^9 - 2*x^10). - Colin Barker, Mar 29 2018
